US President Donald Trump has stepped up his feud with the media bytweeting a mock video of himself tackling and repeatedly striking a manin a business suit, his face replaced by the CNN logo, outside awrestling ring.

The video was a modified version of a 2007 appearance by Mr Trump atWorld Wrestling Entertainment's WrestleMania 23 promotion, in which MrTrump "takes down" WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

It is not clear who produced the mock video, which was posted on analt-right forum on Reddit a few days before it was shared by thePresident, but it was posted from Mr Trump's account and retweeted bythe official POTUS account.

As a presidential candidate and as commander-in-chief, Mr Trump hasrepeatedly made known his disdain for the media, calling it "the enemyof the American people" and frequently referring to mainstream newsorganisations as "failing" or "fake news".
